Ancient farmers spared us from glaciers but changed Earth's climate: study

I took two courses. It is electrifying, and a great new way of looking at the world.

But of course, when I was done with the course, I looked at where I could make some money doing permaculture. There were, as far as I could see, two ways:

* teach

* do landscape design

The first is much much easier to get into and isn't as hard as the latter. I think that is why you see so many courses.

I have applied permaculture to my land and my life, even though I can't make money from it directly.

Check out Richard Perkins of Ridgedale Permaculture. While he also does offer courses and has written a book (which I can recommend), he also puts out a lot of information for free on Youtube.

A major emphasis of his work is to run his farm as a profitable business while using Permaculture design principles.

That’s really interesting, thanks. Can you share any more about how you’ve applied permaculture to your daily life?
